Bikes that REALLY blow your hair back.

I play on another website thread that is totally dedicated to posting Cool looking bikes. In fact I ended up playing bikes-on-line while I was looking for ideas on how to soup-up my GS850-Shaftie (Suzi, not BeeEm). Anyway, I never gave up. I just got my mits on these images and thought you RATS might appreciate them too. I am not a twin fan, or a scrambler fan, or a wafer thin seat fan, but this ROCKS! Dig the FCR's. Then I thought to label the thread as I did so that you might post your favourite bike images in the future too.









Best 'til last. Keihin and CNC beauty.

Oh Dear HAP....

You need to calibrate your sights ol' Mate. Is this the AMA you were talking about?



This next one is from The Island's 6-hour Endurance race - the RC8 won. It was only half prepped for racing.

I won't continue to clog up the thread proving how out-of-touch you are.

You are also confusing two bikes, at least to some degree, the RC8 and the SD are rather different machines. My brother has the SD you were picking on back there, it is the fastest thing I have ever punched around The Creek. It'll eat Jap fours with Boldor piloting it. Considering that none of my rider education has been track oriented or formal in nature, that's a pretty big claim - I reckon.

I read your post BKK about Sparky 675. Fire side stories seem to have different tellings I see. I like her story to us better.

To both D and Bo, I see neither of you read my entire post. And neither of the RC8s you pointed out are factory but Privateers as I said in my post.

At least BKK reads the posts on all the threads.

I truly do appreciate your courtesy and compliments, HAP, but I feel duty-bound to point out that the details of "my story" about Sparky's incident were sourced from a 2+ year old post by Sparky herself. My contribution was merely to dredge it up and express my surprise - in a small world sort of way - that our paths had crossed before - figuratively. I was in a different group than she, so I wasn't the guy who ran her over, I swear. :D

Oh, and does the apparent fact that neither of those bikes are full factory efforts make them any less KTM?

Bo. You win. KTM is by far and away the next best thing to sliced bread. How you got that KTM cheated beats me. You read what you want and I am incapable of communicating any more because of past brain damage suffered from arguing with you.

What started this was a silly statement that KTM was wiping every ones arse around the world with their new super bikes. Kinda like BMW did it's first year and like MV is also doing.

When KTM puts a dedicated race division into WSBK I will buy you a beer. Till then they can win all the back water races in the world and still not equal Ducati. I am done, you win. Again.:) ( :) That means I am just done and not pissed because I don't care.)

O Jeezus H. I wasn't arguing, I was asking. I have inadvertently upset you and Dee lately and I thought I'd be well behaved. I had actually softened to the point that I pointed out that I doubt this ready to race thing and admitted that their dealer tell fibs.

I'll go and put some deodorant on.

You haven't upset me one bit...I think you're funny as hell, and I'd wager you're even funnier in person (well, at least to look at)...but nobody on here is gonna buy that an Aussie actually knows what deodorant is...that's something you looked up on Google or Wiki.

Oh good. No wuckers.

Yes I do look a bit funny - too funny.

I am having trouble getting into pubs late now 'cause I look so funny. I am going out more due to being a bachelor again and bouncers are constantly asking how many I've had. We're not allowed into pubs if drunk down here - go figure - AND we get tossed out if we get drunk in an establishment that sells alcohol - crazy. Anyway stone, cold sober I am getting denied entry cause I LOOK drunk. It's not just my head, my limp(s) are getting worse too. The best days may be behind me now, though it doesn't feel like it.

Anyway back to the thread topic.
